One-dimensional unitary scattering controlled by non-Hermitian (typically, ${\cal PT}$-symmetric) quantum Hamiltonians $H\neq H^\dagger$ is considered. Treating these operators via Runge-Kutta approximation, our three-Hilbert-space…
A non-commuting measurement transfers, via the apparatus, information encoded in a system's state to the external "observer". Classical measurements determine properties of physical objects. In the quantum realm, the very same notion…

We associate with k hermitian N\times N matrices a probability measure on R^k. It is supported on the joint numerical range of the k-tuple of matrices. We call this measure the joint numerical shadow of these matrices. Let k=2. A pair of…
A quantum-mechanical system comes naturally equipped with a convex space: each (Hermitian) operator has a (real) expectation value, and the expectation value of the square any Hermitian operator must be non-negative. This space is of…
This paper introduces and investigates the concept of the $q$-numerical range for tuples of bounded linear operators in Hilbert spaces. We establish various inequalities concerning the $q$-numerical radius associated with these operator…

In this paper, we generalize the notion of the $C$-numerical range of a matrix to operators in arbitrary tracial von Neumann algebras. For each self-adjoint operator $C$, the $C$-numerical range of such an operator is defined; it is a…
A mixed quantum state is represented by a Hermitian positive semi-definite operator $\rho$ with unit trace. The positivity requirement is responsible for a highly nontrivial geometry of the set of quantum states. A known way to satisfy this…
